The Madrigal

The Madrigal: A Research and Information Guide is the first comprehensive bibliography of music literature, editions, and recordings documenting this musical genre. It is the first comprehensive reference work that takes into account the new approaches to music, analysis, and gender that characterize recent contributions to the field of madrigal studies.
